"My health care"

I was visiting Broome from Townsville and needed attention for an infected ear. As it was a Saturday morning, no G. P. services were open and I was unfamiliar with the area where I presented at the emergency dept. of the local hospital. As part of the routine service the triage nurse did a pulse check and the next thing I knew I was on an E. C. G. monitor. The results were sent off to a cardiologist in Perth who diagnosed a case of atrial flutter (attending doctor was Dr Jessica). I was given medication and am now following up with a cardiologist in Townsville. I was taken completely by surprise as I was asymptomatic. All the staff were outstanding and I can not thank them enough.
